EARLY_AP_STARTUP was introduced in 2016 (commit fdce57a042) with note:
As a transition aid, the new behavior is moved under a new
kernel option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option
to be turned off if need be during initial testing. I hope to
enable this on x86 by default in a followup commit ...
It was enabled by default, but became effectively mandatory (on x86)
some time later. Move it to DEFAULTS to avoid an unbootable system if
the option is left out of a custom kernel configuration file.

Following the removal of general MIPS support, there's no longer a need
to have the AHB bus-frontend in place, which according to Linux sources
also isn't used with any non-MIPS SoCs. For simplicity, PCI bus support
is only made conditional on the main one again, i. e. device ath_pci is
removed, and built into the main module, i. e. if_ath_pci.ko obsoleted,
respectively.
Effectively, this reverts the following commits and associated changes:

The present implementation is only for x86. Other architectures need
adjustments for querying presence of EFI.
Xen's EFI support is also quite troublesome on non-x86. This is being
slowly remedied, but until in better shape the EFI clock functionality
should be disabled.

NETLINK is going to replace rtsock and a number of other ioctl/sysctl interfaces.
In-base utilies such as route(8), netstat(8) and soon ifconfig(8)
are being converted to use netlink sockets as a transport between
kernel and userland.
In the current configuration, it still possible have the kernel
without NETLINK (`nooptions NETLINK`) and use the aforementioned
utilies by buidling the world with `WITHOUT_NETLINK` src.conf knob.
However, this approach does not cover the cases when person unintentionally
builds a custom kernel without netlink and tries to use the standard userland.
This change adds `option NETLINK` to the default options for each
architecture, fixing the custom kernel issue.
For arm, this change uses `std.armv6` and `std.armv7` (netlink already in)
instead of DEFAULTS.

Most options in kernel config files use "options<space><tab>OPTION".
This allows the option to be commented out without shifting columns.
A few options had two tabs, and some had spaces. Make them consistent.
They don't provide any value and are quite arbitrary.
Note arm64 GENERIC-MMCCAM was already excluded, just not the NODEBUG
variant.
The option is already build-tested with arm64 LINT kernel.

Netlink is a communication protocol defined in RFC 3549. It is async,
TLV-based protocol, providing 1-1 and 1-many communications between kernel
and userland. Netlink is currently used in Linux kernel to modify, read and
subscribe for nearly all networking states. Interface state, addresses, routes,
firewall, rules, fibs, etc, are controlled via Netlink.
Netlink support was added in D36002. It has got a number of improvements and
first customers since then:
* net/bird2 got netlink support, enabling route multipath in FreeBSD
* netlink-based devd notifications are being worked on ( D37574 ).
* linux(4) fully supports and depends on Netlink
Enabling Netlink in GENERIC targets two goals.
The first one is to provide stability for the third-party userland applications,
so they can rely on the fact that netlink always exists since 14.0 and potentially 13.2.
Loadable module makes life of the app delepers harder. For example, `net/bird2` can be
either build with netlink or rtsock support, but not both.
The second goal is to enable gradual conversion of the base userland tools
to use netlink(4) interfaces. Converting tools like netstat (D36529), route,
ifconfig one-by-one simplifies testing and addressing the feedback.
Othewise, switching all base to use netlink at once may be too big of a leap.
This change targets amd64, the other architectures will follow soon.

Remove the KPI/KBI changes from ieee80211_node.h and always use the
macros to pass in __func__ and __LINE__ to the functions.
The actual implementations are prefixed by "_" rather than suffixed
by "_debug" as they no longer are "debug"-specific.
Some of the select functions were not actually using the passed in
func, line options; however they are calling other functions which
use them. Directly call the internal implementation in those cases
passing the arguments on.
Use a file-local __debrefcnt_used define to mark the arguments __unused
in cases when we compile without IEEE80211_DEBUG_REFCNT and hope the
toolchain is intelligent enough to not pass them at all in those cases.
Also _ieee80211_free_node() now has a conflict so make the previous
_ieee80211_free_node() the new __ieee80211_free_node().
Add IEEE80211_DEBUG_REFCNT to the NOTES file on amd64 to keep exercising
the option.

While uart could be detected completely through plug and play means, add
it here for two reasons. First, we don't do that from the loader, so
it's not available as a console. Second, even if we did do it from the
loader, there's a limitation in the system today that console drivers
must be compiled into the kernel because the console is selected before
external modules are linked into the kernel. Adding it only increases
the kernel size by ~14k as well.
